Liverpool FC: We’ll build our new stadium by 2010
Jul 13 2007 by Nick Coligan, Liverpool Echo
THE ECHO can today reveal the detailed timetable to deliver Liverpool FC’s new stadium.
Anfield officials have delivered precise plans to the city council which would lead to work starting in Stanley Park by the end of the year.
Despite calling back the bulldozers who were due to start work in May, the club is confident the 60,000-capacity stadium will still be ready for the start of the 2010 season.
The £280m project’s new timescale was revealed today as city officials waited for the club to unveil its redrawn proposals for New Anfield.
Reds’ owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks decided to go back to the drawing board after buying the club to see if stadium capacity could be increased beyond 60,000.
As revealed in Monday’s ECHO, the American owners intend to retain the original capacity, but redesign it significantly so it can be expanded later.
Now Liverpool council is being given a firm timescale which the club hopes to stick to. It would mean:
A planning application being lodged on July 25.
The council granting planning permission by the end of October.
Government officials agreeing not to intervene by the end of November.
Work starting at the end of the year.
Councillors will also be asked to agree a 999-year lease for the site to new company Stadco, which is being set up by Liverpool to develop the ground.
The club would have to pay rent of £300,000 a year.
Plans to refurbish the rest of Stanley Park have not changed, although a proposal to convert the Isla Gladstone conservatory into a facility similar to Sefton Park’s palm house has now emerged.
Cllr Berni Turner, executive member for the environment, said: “We are thinking about something like a cafe bar, which would be available for weddings, funerals and bar mitzvahs.”
Rent money received from Liverpool, along with £350,000 a year from the council’s own budget, will be used to maintain the park and conservatory for years to come.
The plans will be discussed by councillors at a meeting next week.
The timetable JULY 25 , 2007 – this is the date that Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks says the revised plans will be submitted to Liverpool council, a month later than originally planned.
OCTOBER 2007 – the council will then face a race against time to re-examine the proposals and decide whether to grant planning perm-ission. To meet this deadline, the club will have to make sure the scheme is not dramat-ically different to its predecessor in terms of capacity and impact on the surrounding area. The original scheme was approved in summer 2004.
NOVEMBER 2007 – possibly the most crucial date. The government office for the north west will have to decide whether Liverpool’s plans should be “called in” for further investigation, sparking a public inquiry. This would delay the scheme by several months.
Park revamp still on
LIVERPOOL council insisted the stadium review would not affect plans to refurbish the rest of Stanley Park.
Regardless of any changes to the new ground, it will still contain a community centre. Talks continue about providing extra facilities elsewhere in north Liverpool.
Anfield Plaza, a new district centre of shops, restaurants and homes, will be created on the current stadium site, possibly with the pitch as a centrepiece.
A 24-hour security service, including CCTV, will be set up around the stadium, integrated within a surveillance proposal for the park and Gladstone conservatory.
Improvements to pavements, roads, pedestrian crossings and coach parking are planned, while new park-and-ride sites will be set up and the matchday residents-only parking zone expanded.
Seven-year struggle for new Anfield
June 2000: Plans for 70,000-seater stadium unveiled.
October 2003: Planning application for £80m, 60,000-seater stadium submitted.
July 2004: Permission given.
August 2004: John Prescott agrees not to call in plan.
January 2005: Shared stadium talks collapse.
March 2005: Stadium costs estimated at £120m.
July 2006: Liverpool insist they can afford their share of the now-£190m project.
September 2006: £9m European grant agreed.
February 2007: George Gillett and Tom Hicks take over – work to start within 60 days.
March 2007: Owners discuss increasing capacity with planners.
April 2007: Shared stadium idea finally killed. Work due to start in May.
July 2007: Hicks says new planning application for redesigned 60,000-seater stadium will be submitted at end of month.
Plans for a northern palm house
EXCITING plans could see an historic north Liverpool building turned into the area’s version of the Sefton Park palm house.
The derelict Isla Gladstone conservatory could be restored to its former glory as part of the renovation of Stanley Park.
Council officials have asked experts to draw up a detailed proposal to use the grade II-listed structure as a catering facility.
It could then be leased and run as a commercial enterprise.
The conservatory was designed by Edinburgh firm Mackenzie and Moncur and opened in 1899, 29 years after Stanley Park was created.

From Goal.com
Exclusive: New Liverpool Stadium Design 'Truly Revolutionary'
Although the stadium plans for Liverpool’s new ground are not due to be unveiled until next week, Goal.com can exclusively reveal that the original plans have been completely overhauled, and a firm of American architects has delivered a design that is truly revolutionary.
Sources close to Goal.com have told us that the pitch at the new Stanley Park stadium will be below ground level - and that the most striking element of the stadium will be a huge glass structure featuring a massive club crest that is truly iconic.
It had earlier been reported that the plans have been submitted and will now need to be passed for approval by the city’s council before work can begin.
The Liverpool Echo had reported that the proposed stadium will hold 60,000 fans and cost around £270 million to build, with work starting before the beginning of 2008.
The paper added that there could be the facility to expand capacity to 80,000 in the future.
The atmosphere created at Liverpool's existing Anfield ground (pictured) is world famous - something that the new Liverpool co-owners are keeping in mind with the new stadium design, having said recently that that it will all be "centred around the Kop" - which will be "the symphony stage that plays to the symphony hall."
* Sounds interesting! I like the crest idea. Why would the pitch be below ground though? To contain the fan noise factor? I just hope it's not a completely bowled shaped stadium because they never retain a good amount of noise, instead they mix the noise coming from both sets of fans.

The pitch will probably be below street level because of the slope that runs down from Anfield Rd to Priory Rd. It may be a case of just the end of the stadium close to Anny Rd is below street level or they may drop the whole thing down a bit so that the stadium isn't towering over the surrounding residences.
P.S.
The pictures of the blueshites new ground just appear to be of a slightly smaller version of the Westfalon Stadion?? (Borussia Dortmunds)
Wouldn't this be more suited to being located a bit closer to the main Welsh Road?

Spot the artists deliberate mistake. Yes it shows the ground full.
From Shankly to Brendan we follow our team, Rome to Istanbul we've all lived the dream. Our journey is long, our goal stays the same, to keep for our children the famous red name.
